Chapter 279 - Won’t I Be A Third Wheel Then?
Time flew. Two months passed. Ning Qing was already seven months pregnant.
In these two months, Song Yingjie first flew back to the United States, followed by Ning Qing’s successful cooperation with Song Jin.
The stock market coincided with the second bull market. And with Ning Qing’s unique vision when investing in the entertainment industry, her net worth had increased eight times in just two months. She had become a real billionaire director in the entertainment industry.
The relationship between Ning Qing and Song Yajing was also rapidly improving. Song Yajing gradually let go of the Lu family’s business and traveled around with Lu Dinghua, enjoying the second spring of her life.
Ning Qing was at the Lu family Villa that day. She was sitting on the living room sofa chatting with Song Yajing. Xiao Zhou handed her an invitation.
“Ning Qing, Ellow, the founder of S&W, the luxury clothing brand in England, invites you to attend their fashion show. Ning Qing, do you want to go?” Xiao Zhou asked.
“S&W?” Ning Qing repeated the name and looked at Song Yajing. “Mom, I remember that I’ve seen you wear S&W.”
Ning Qing looked at her mother-in-law. Song Yajing seemed to be red-faced. Her mother-in-law was also a unique kind of woman. Before that, she had been strict, grim and dogmatic. She had only realized the sweetness of love now. The identity of Mrs. Lu had made her temperament graceful and noble all these years. Now that she had added a little shyness to her nobility and gracefulness, she was very lovely.
“Dad, you’re back. Mom was just saying that this dress is not pretty. Dad, come and comment on it,” Ning Qing shouted.
Lu Dinghua looked at Song Yajing. “It’s pretty! Madam looks good in everything she wears.”
Now Song Yajing was embarrassed.
Ning Qing sometimes thought that Lu Dinghua was indeed a gentleman. To be honest, Lu Shaoming was not a gentleman. The real gentleman is a man like Lu Dinghua who radiates tender and romantic feelings from his bones.
In the past two months, Lu Dinghua’s eyes had been lingering on Song Yajing. His gaze would not go overboard, but when his gaze was gently entangled on one person, he could make others blush.
Song Yajing gave Ning Qing a look, then went down the stairs. “Dinghua, Ning Qing and I are flying to England this afternoon to attend a fashion show.”
“Then I’ll go with you guys,” Lu Dinghua said.
Ning Qing quickly covered her mouth and snickered. “Dad, Mom, won’t I be a third wheel then?”
Song Yajing blushed and Lu Dinghua raised his eyebrows. “I just remembered that I have an important meeting this afternoon and cannot go with you guys. Ning Qing, you won’t be a third wheel, but don’t forget that you are a pregnant woman. I’ll give you more bodyguards; take care of your safety.”
As he said that, Lu Dinghua wrapped his arms around Song Yajing’s shoulder, he softly said, “Call me when you’re in England. I’ll entrust Ning Qing and Little Master Lu to you.”
Song Yajing nodded. “Don’t worry.”
The three of them had lunch together. Ning Qing took out her cell phone to call Lu Shaoming, but the call didn’t go through. He was probably in a meeting.
“Dad, I can’t get through to Shaoming’s phone. It’s time to board the plane. Mom and I have to leave. Let Shaoming know for me.”
“Alright, you can go. I’ll let him know,” Lu Dinghua promised.
…
When they flew to England in the afternoon, Ellow, the founder of S&W, gave them a warm welcome. In the afternoon, they took part in the fashion show, and in the evening, Ellow personally entertained them.
“Miss Ning, it’s a great pleasure to have you here. I thought I wouldn’t be able to invite you. After all, you have completely stopped working since becoming pregnant.”
Ning Qing held onto Song Yajing’s arm affectionately. “Ellow, I brought my mother with me. My mother has always liked your brand’s designs. I hope Ellow could design some clothes for my mother personally.”
Ellow looked at Song Yajing and bowed respectfully. “Hello, Mrs. Lu. It’s a blessing that you have such a filial and competent daughter-in-law.”
Song Yajing looked at Ning Qing and answered, “That’s right.”
What did her mother-in-law say?
That’s right?
Ning Qing instantly had a bright smile on her face.
“Miss Ning, Mrs. Lu, this way, please. I’ll take your measurements. I’ll make the latest fashion for Mrs. Lu over the next four seasons. I’m sure Mrs. Lu would be satisfied with them.”
The three of them went into the VIP room together. Ellow and his assistant took Song Yajing’s measurements.
Ning Qing felt that the air was stuffy here. She opened her mouth and said to Song Yajing, “Mom, I don’t think the air is fresh here. I want to go out and take a breather.”
“Go ahead, don’t go too far. Bring two bodyguards with you. Be safe,” Song Yajing advised.
“Alright.” Ning Qing went out.
…
Outside the gate, Ning Qing took a breath of the fresh England night air. She stood on the street and looked at the corners of England. At this moment, she suddenly missed Lu Shaoming very much.
England was where he had undergone the operation; it’s where he had lost his memory.
She reached for her cell phone habitually, but she suddenly remembered that the dress she wore today was without pockets. Her cell phone was in the bag; she had not brought it with her.
She took back her hands resentfully. Ning Qing straightened up her slender back and casually looked at the prosperous night scene.
Suddenly cries of “Waaa” sounded in her ear. Looking over, a cute and dainty little girl ran into the middle of the street and in a tender voice, cried, “Mom, I want Mom.”
In front of the little girl, there was a car speeding towards her.
